So. We recorded this video. I’d mentioned that it’s absolutely valid to go with non-meta strategies and find ways to make them competitive. And at the same time, I warned about the challenges of using Sauron orcs, and of using Gandalf as your starting companion. Then, a few weekends ago, four of us Michiganders got together at a local game store for a relaxed Fellowship Block tournament. And the deck which won every single game and swept the tournament? One of the guys brought a Sauron Orc wound machine, built on Orc Bowmen and Under the Watching Eye. And his starting companion was Gandalf, the Grey Pilgrim. And like, when I lost to him, it wasn’t even close. The orc conditions were firing on all cylinders. So I’m happy to say again: build the kind of deck that makes you happy, and you’ll be able to find ways to make it competitive.
Do you have a deck list for the deck you put on screen close to the end of the video? Also, I watched your 2 hour tutorial where you played yourself with 2 decks to help new players such as myself learn the game! I love the concept of the deck you had win with the stealth and hobbit intuitions. Do you happen to have a list on that one as well?
@@davidcrocker9336 Thanks so much for watching, and for your kind feedback! Yes, so, I’ve made some changes to the hobbit deck here and there, so it doesn’t look exactly the same as you see in that video, but presently it looks like this:
Frodo, Reluctant Adventurer
Isildur’s Bane
Sam, Proper Poet
Merry, from O’er the Brandywine
Pippin, Friend to Frodo
(1) Hobbiton Woods
(2) Buckleberry Ferry
(3) Frodo’s Bedroom
(4) Mithril Mine
(5) The Bridge of Khazad-Dum
(6) Valley of the Silverlode
(7) Anduin Wilderland
(8) Anduin Banks
(9) Wastes of Emyn Muil
Bounder (3)
Filibert Bolger
Hobbit Sword (3)
Sting
Frying Pan (2)
Hobbit Stealth (4)
Hobbit Intuition (4)
Dagger Strike (4)
There and Back Again (2)
Power According to His Stature
Mithril Coat
A Talent for not Being Seen
Isengard Axe (4)

Isengard Servant (4)
Isengard Retainer (4)
Uruk-Hai Raiding Party (4)
Uruk Slayer (4)
Orc Overseer
Orc Commander (2)

I don’t have a shadow side for the free peoples example deck I put together for this video, or a set of sites (site 1 would definitely be The Prancing Pony), but the free peoples list is:
Gandalf, The Grey Pilgrim
Frodo, Old Bilbo’s Heir
The Ruling Ring
Trust Me As You Once Did (4)
Mysterious Wizard (4)
Glamdring (2)
Gandalf’s Staff (2)
Strength of Spirit (3)
Intimidate (2)
Hobbit Sword (2)
Hobbit Stealth (4)
Bounder (2)
Ranger’s Sword
Flaming Brand
Aragorn’s Bow
Boromir, Son of Denethor
Gimli, Son of Gloin
Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood
Sam, Proper Poet
Aragorn, Ranger of the North
Pippin, Hobbit of Some Intelligence
Merry, Friend to Sam
If you wanted to use that Free Peoples side as a springboard, then you can have fun designing your own Shadow side and set of sites to match it. :)
Finally, no pressure, but I do have a video going through my strategy for the Hobbit deck listed above, which can be found here: m.ruclips.net/video/aP9bAZnOVsk/видео.html
I’ll definitely watch that right away! You can take one full shadow deck and play it independently from every fellowship deck you have? Like, if I enjoy playing a specific shadow strategy, most I can mix it in with any deck I decide to play as fellowship?
@@davidcrocker9336 If I understand your question correctly, yes. So, each full deck has to have an equal number of shadow cards and free peoples cards. If you made, say, a stomper Uruk-Hai shadow side with 35 cards, then yes, you could conceivably make any number of free peoples sides-each with 35 cards, and then just mix and match from game to game. Of course, there are strategic considerations for how certain free peoples and shadow sides might synergize, and especially for how specific sites synergize with various strategies.
This was a great watch!
Sauron Orcs ftw! I love Sauron burdens. 😊
Awesome video! I have yet to make my first deck but this exactly how I would want my fellowship side to look. Would love to see some more deck tech type videos of the fellowship block especially with what and why you would play certain sites. Great stuff!
Working on it! Maybe we will think about a part two. I’d check out Ben’s channel for more resources.
Great vid thanks
Thanks! Posting more lotr tcg deck videos later today. Glad you’re enjoying!
God, I miss this game. Decipher was really the best CCG company. SWCCG and LotRCCG were so much better than Magic, Pokémon, and the rest.
I agree! That’s why I’m out here making videos 20 years later :)
I would love to see another company pick this game up and reprint
Please do a Two Towers Meta video
One step ahead of you: here’s the free people’s side: Lord of the Rings TCG Two Towers Free People Deck Strategies!

Shadows is also up there a week later
Would love a discussion around the shift in meta from fellowship to TT to ROTK (or just within movie block)
My parents threw away my deck that I used to collect as kid. Back then I just used to collect them not knowing how to play. Still can't get over it....
Fortunately, there are still plenty of cards out there! You can still get in to the game. :)
I just print proxies with mpc for mine. Saves loads of money and you can get any card you want. This games gotten expensive the last couple years.
